That's exactly what I had too but he's not going to make it even half that far. I think reaches and risers historically do better than "fallers" if I remember correctly. I put fallers in quotations due to there not being a real consensus list.
I'll also admit my bias where I would almost always take a center in the first round unless a D is truly far ahead. You can find impact/good D later in the draft easier than you can find top 6 centers. This is why if Hage keeps this up, I wouldn't hestitate to pick him when the Flames are up. At this point I don't even see it as a reach.
